Death toll from Sri Lanka rubbish dump collapse rises to 16
Colombo - Arab Today
The death toll from Sri Lanka rubbish dump collapse has climbed to 16, including four children, after a huge rubbish dump collapsed on to their homes, the BBC reported Saturday.
The 300ft-high (91m) pile of rotting debris had shifted after floods and a fire, then collapsed on Friday.
At least 40 homes on the edge of the dump were destroyed, with four children aged between 11 and 15 killed.
There had been concerns over the safety of the site in Colombo, with residents demanding it be cleared.
Emergency officials told the BBC that up to 20 people may remain buried in their houses, with the Sri Lankan army now coordinating the recovery.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
